Read SINNERS IN THE HAND OF AN ANGRY GOD BY JONATHAN EDWARDS

In paragraph 1, what does Edwards mean by divine when he refers to “divine justice” when he says “[men] deserve to be cast into hell; so that divine justice never stands in the way;”

Answer:

In this context, “divine justice” refers to God´s intervention in saving people from being sent to Hell because of their sins.

Explanation:

According to Edwards, Is not God´s responsibility to use His justice for such endeavor, because the judgment has already been done. If Satan has already decided to take someone to Hell because of his sins, God is only holding that person before Satan takes him to Hell.
